SMS clear carbon fibre decals

Hi all,

I'm working on a 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 and it calls for coloured carbon fibre in yellow/orange. I can either buy the coloured CF decals or paint the part in the required colour and use clear CF decals.

I've seen SMS have clear carbon fibre decals but before I go ahead and buy I wanted to see if anyone has used the clear decals and has some close up photos of how they look over colour paint? A link to any WIP or Finished builds would be excellent.

These are the items I mean:

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
KC

Thanks, very helpful. And great clean builds!

So just to confirm the decal is clear with white patterns rather than clear with black patterns?
